Chapter 15

In the case of Jiangnan Road, the emperor won a great victory.The treasury is abundant, and the life of the six departments is obviously much better.

But it was also because of the turmoil in the Jiangnan Road case that the atmosphere in Beijing was a bit dull. After all, the blood seeping on the ground at Caishikou had not yet been washed away.

Therefore, the palace ordered a lantern festival to be held in the city on the day of the Flower Festival.The curfew was lifted for one day and people were allowed to sell wine.It also indirectly shows that the turmoil in Jiangnan Road is over.

As soon as the news came out, all the people in Shengjing were relieved, and they resumed walking around as usual.

It was in this atmosphere that Yuan Lingheng returned to Shengjing.

Although what he wanted to see most was his sister, he still followed the rules and went to see Mrs. Tai and Yuan Fuwei first.

The wife was only happy when she saw this ambitious grandson. After caring about his tenure for a while, she asked him to go see his father.

In fact, Yuan Fuwei and this eldest son have never been very close. Moreover, whenever he sees him now, he will be reminded of the rumors in the capital. They are obviously father and son, but they can only care about each other in silence when they sit together.

Yuan Fuwei asked some symbolic questions and then asked Yuan Lingheng to go back on the pretext that he needed to rest.

After going around in a big circle like this, Yuan Lingheng arrived at Yuan Miaoyi Courtyard.Yuan Miaoyi got the news that her brother was coming back and was waiting for him early this morning.

Seeing Yuan Lingheng coming, he quickly asked Aunt Cui to brew the Xishan Bailu that Yuan Lingheng loved to drink.

In fact, Yuan Miaoyi likes to drink Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots, but because Yuan Lingheng likes to drink Xishan White Dew, she keeps more Xishan White Dew in her yard than Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots.

Coincidentally, Yuan Lingheng told others that he loved drinking Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots, so his subordinates selected Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots and sent them to the house every year.

The brother and sister haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and so many things have happened during this period, so naturally they have endless things to talk about.

When the Jiangnan Road incident occurred, Yuan Lingheng, as a new official who had just arrived in Qingzhou and had not yet colluded with local interests, was the target of their attention.

Later, after Yuan Miaoyi rescued Xiao Yunyue and found out that he had come with the emperor's secret order and that Yuan Lingheng was still mediating among them, she began to worry.

Although Xiao Yunyue said that Yuan Lingheng's life was not in danger, Yuan Miaoyi still worried about the person Yuan Miaoyi cared about most for several days.

Especially in the court, during the two days when the incident was the most serious, Yuan Miaoyi didn't sleep well for several days, and she didn't feel relieved until the dust settled.

Although he had only been in office for a few months, Yuan Lingheng had changed a lot.Although she is still as gentle as ever in front of Yuan Miaoyi, her temperament is more calm and restrained.

Just as Yuan Miaoyi had guessed, Pei Zhao, who was the emperor's confidant, knew about this early in the morning.Therefore, the uncle and nephew had discussed it early in the morning to become an official in Qingzhou.

Yuan Miaoyi believed that Yuan Lingheng had his own arrangements regarding his official career.Although Yuan Miaoyi was worried, she did not intervene in advance.

Yuan Lingheng, on the other hand, although Yuan Miaoyi explained in the letter that he wanted to investigate the matter of Futian Village, so he went to the suburbs of Beijing.But Yuan Lingheng was afraid that his sister would be wronged at home, so he asked again and again before he felt relieved.

As for the matter with Xiao Yunyue, he had already written letters to Xiao Yunyue. He believed that his sister and good friend were both polite people, so there was no need to ask again.

The brother and sister chatted until they lit the lamp. When Yuan Miaoyi saw Aunt Cui coming in, she said, "Brother, please come and have dinner at my place today."

Aunt Cui asked Bai Zhi, Dongxia and others to prepare the meal and said, "Girl knows that Your Majesty, you like to eat anchovies. You have specially asked the slaves to pay attention to it these days. Your Majesty, it's hard for us to spare our cook's duties today."

Things in this world may always involve some people being happy and others feeling sad.

Here, brother and sister Yuan Lingheng, Yuan Miaoyi reunited after a short break, and they had a very happy conversation.

Xiao Yunyue, who had his first heartbeat in more than ten years, was distressed.

He is a good hand at arranging troops and his ability to handle political affairs is not bad, but when it comes to pursuing his sweetheart, he has a completely blank slate.

Nanguan stood silently watching his master still practicing martial arts in the garden late at night, and suddenly said: "The day after tomorrow is the Flower Festival Lantern Festival."

Xiao Yunyue stopped and said, "You mean, I asked her to go to the lantern festival?" He hesitated, was this too presumptuous?
Nanguan said expressionlessly: "Master Hou, it's normal for you to go to the lantern festival."

Xiao Yunyue finally came to his senses. What Nanguan meant was that the purpose of asking out a girl rashly was too obvious and it was not etiquette.But if we meet by chance at a lantern festival, that's perfectly normal.

But Xiao Yunyue remembered that Yuan Lingheng said accidentally that his sister seemed to like silence rather than noise. How noisy is the lantern festival? Will she come?

Nanguan didn't understand why his wise and powerful master seemed to have become less intelligent after the red luan star moved.

"You will have a small gathering with Crown Prince Rongan tomorrow and ask him if he has any plans for the day after your death."

If Yuan Miaoyi wanted to go to the lantern festival, she would definitely go with her brother.Yuan Lingheng doesn't have to go to the palace to report to the emperor in the future. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be this.

Xiao Yunyue figured out the joints involved and patted Nanguan's shoulder vigorously: "Okay, you kid. I didn't expect that you usually look like a boring gourd, but your brain is quite bright at critical times."

After saying this, he happily went back to the room without waiting for Nanguan to react.

Today is not a major court meeting, so Emperor Jingyuan met with some important ministers in Liangyi Hall, handled some political affairs, and then left.

After the dispersion of the dynasty, Xiao Yunyue followed Emperor Jingyuan back to the South Study.

After Emperor Jingyuan sat down, he glanced at him and said, "Why don't you avoid me after going to court today?"

Xiao Yunyue smiled: "Why am I hiding from you? Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be upset when he sees me?"

Princess Jianing has been causing a lot of trouble in the palace these days, which has disturbed the whole palace.

First, he smashed everything that could be smashed in Yeting Palace.That's all. Yesterday, she beat the correctional nun sent by the Queen.

To beat an innocent palace servant, and one was sent by the queen, this is not a small crime.

Emperor Jingyuan got angry and ordered Princess Jianing to shut herself up and think about her past, and she was not allowed to come out during the Hua Chao Festival.He also asked the queen to send a nun to teach her. If she couldn't learn the rules, even Yuan Zheng wouldn't let her out.

Even Concubine Shu followed suit. Princess Jianing was raised by her side since she was a child.

Although the events in the inner palace were not widely spread, Princess Jianing was really causing trouble, and Princess Jinyang still heard some rumors.

Emperor Jingyuan hadn't thought of this at first, but when Xiao Yunyue mentioned it like this, he was really upset when he saw the culprit in front of him.

He put the tea cup aside: "Okay, just tell me if you have something to do. Why do you have anything to do with me?"

Xiao Yunyue said: "The "Linggu Sutra" that your Majesty promised to reward me the day before yesterday has not yet been given to me. Aren't you impatient?"

He left in a hurry that day and left in a hurry without taking the copybook with him. "Just for this copybook?" Emperor Jingyuan's tone was a little suspicious.

Xiao Yunyue nodded confidently: "Yes, just for this copybook."

Emperor Jingyuan was so angry that he wanted to laugh, and then shouted: "Zhou Ning!"

Zhou Ning, who had been waiting outside, heard Emperor Jing Yuan's voice and quickly came in and bowed: "My servant is here."

"Take Pingyang Marquis to the inner treasury." Emperor Jingyuan pointed to Xiao Yunyue sitting next to him: "Find out the copybook of "Linggu Sutra" and let him take it away."

Xiao Yunyue stood up and said obediently: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." Emperor Jingyuan felt a headache when he looked at him, waved his hand and said: "Let's go, let's go, I'm upset when I see you."

Seeing that Xiao Yunyue was about to follow Zhou Ning, Emperor Jingyuan said again: "Remember to come to the palace in a few days to receive Yu Linwei's waist badge and official seal."

Xiao Yunyue turned around with a smile and clasped his fists: "I obey your Majesty's decree."

Emperor Jingyuan looked at the back of Xiao Yunyue who had walked out, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "This bastard."

As soon as he returned home, the steward of the reception department came up to him and said, "Master Marquis, Crown Prince Rongan is here and is waiting for you in the flower hall."

Xiao Yunyue got off the horse and asked the waiter to lead him away: "Please, Prince, wait for me in the small study. I will go there when I see my mother."

He first went back to the eldest princess's mansion to meet the eldest princess of Jinyang. After talking to his mother for a while, he said that he had guests over there and he had to go back first.

Xiao Yunyue had told the eldest princess before that Yuan Lingheng had helped him a lot in the Jiangnan Road incident.If he hadn't been the mediator in Qingzhou, many things would have been much more difficult, and he wouldn't have been able to leave Jiangnan Road so easily.

As for Yuan Miaoyi's rescue of him in Futian Village, because it was related to Yuan Miaoyi's good reputation, Xiao Yunyue had been tight-lipped and never even told the eldest princess.

Although the eldest princess does not like Rong Anhou, she has a good impression of Yuan Lingheng.He told him to entertain others well, and then let him go back.

"Tzuyu, farewell to Qingzhou. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Please wait." Xiao Yunyue said as he walked into the study.

Yuan Lingheng stood up and bowed to him: "Long time no see, Lintai, I just arrived."

While Xiao Yunyue was serving tea again, he chatted with Yuan Lingheng about their current situation.

The waiter brought new tea. Yuan Lingheng held the tea cup and suddenly smiled: "Lintai, why do I think you are so polite to me today?"

Nan Guan, who was standing guard outside, said that he was a good friend in the past, but he might be a brother-in-law in the future.Are you welcome?

Xiao Yunyue, who coveted someone else's sister and felt a little guilty, touched his nose: "No, aren't you considered my savior now? My mother specially asked me to treat you well."

Yuan Lingheng laughed: "I am not a savior, it's just my duty."

Yuan Lingheng's words about joining the army to monitor local affairs and correcting them are not wrong.

Then both of them got serious and chatted about some serious matters.Finally, Xiao Yunyue revealed to Yuan Lingheng: "Your Majesty intends to summon the governor of Jingzhou back to the capital to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. I believe he will make an announcement in a few days."

The former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been captured by the Yi clan in the Jiangnan Road case, and the left and right ministers have also had their homes confiscated and exiled. There is really no one who can take over from top to bottom in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

It happened that Pei Zhao had been the governor of Jingzhou for many years and had made outstanding achievements. It was time for him to be promoted back to Beijing.

Xiao Yunyue's news was usually correct, so Yuan Lingheng thanked him.Xiao Yunyue handed over another small box and said, "I want to thank you very much for what happened at Futian Village. I know the seriousness of what happened, and the outside world will never hear even a few words. Don't worry."

Yuan Lingheng took the box and opened it. It contained the jade pendant he had given to Xiao Yunyue, but the strap on it was gone.

Xiao Yunyue said slightly apologetically: "I'm really sorry, the situation was quite urgent at the time, and the straps tied on it were lost at some point."

Although Yuan Lingheng felt a little sorry for the wounds his sister gave him, he also understood that when life and death were on the line, there was no way he could pay so much attention.

And when I witnessed my master untying the straps and carefully placing them in Nanguan, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.Love is a word, and as expected, whoever falls in love with it will be frightened.

With that said, it was time for lunch. Xiao Yunyue asked Yuan Lingheng to stay here to eat, but Yuan Lingheng, who agreed to have his sister accompany her for lunch, declined politely.

When Xiao Yunyue sent people out, he asked, "Will Ziyu be free in the future? I still need to discuss some things with you."

Yuan Lingheng smiled a little apologetically and said, "That day is the Flower Festival. I promised my sister-in-law that I would accompany her to the lantern festival, so let's change it to another day."

Xiao Yunyue was overjoyed when he got the clear answer, and immediately changed his words: "It's not a big deal. I can't let you break your brother's promise, so let's change it another day."

When he walked to the door, Xiao Yunyue handed over another box: "You mentioned before that you wanted to find a copybook of the Linggu Sutra. I happened to see it in your majesty's inner treasury, so I asked your majesty for it."

Yuan Lingheng was slightly surprised, and then refused.It would be fine if it was just expensive, but the "Linggu Sutra" is an only copy and very difficult to find. People have been looking for it for a long time but there is no news.Only now did I realize that he had already entered the inner palace.

Xiao Yunyue saw that Yuan Lingheng wanted to refuse, so he said sincerely: "You have helped me so much, and I don't know how to thank you. If you don't want it, my lunch box will not be delivered to your heart, so I can only continue Looking for something else.”

Yuan Lingheng felt a little helpless after hearing this.Knowing that Xiao Yunyue always meant what he said, he had no choice but to accept it.Then he bowed his hands and said, "Then I won't be disrespectful. My sister-in-law Suxi has a willow body. I ordered people to look for this copybook for a long time but there was no news. Thank you very much."

In fact, when he was recuperating in Futian Village, he accidentally heard Yuan Miaoyi mentioning the "Linggu Sutra" with the maid next to him. Xiao Yunyue, who paid attention to it, smiled and said, "You and I are so polite to each other. I won't tell you tomorrow." I may have something to ask of you, but don’t refuse when the time comes.”

Yuan Lingheng put away his things and smiled: "Whenever you ask, when have I ever refused?"

Nanguan, who knew his master's thoughts at the side, glanced at Yuan Lingheng silently and said nothing, feeling some sympathy for Crown Prince Rong'an.

Then the two said goodbye. Seeing that Yuan Lingheng's carriage had gone away, Xiao Yunyue walked towards the eldest princess' mansion.

Nanguan followed him, looking a little confused at the direction he was walking: "Master? Are you going to see the eldest princess now?"

Xiao Yunyue hummed: "I'll go and tell my mother to make some new clothes for me."

Xiao Yunyue, who had never cared about what to wear when traveling in the frontier, had been choosing in the room for the past few days, and was surprised to find that he had no suitable clothes.

His food and clothing expenses have always been taken care of by the eldest princess of Jinyang personally, and Nanguan followed Xiao Yunyue silently.

In a daze, he seemed to see a peacock's tail appearing behind his master, swaying in step with his steps.
